We
are pleased to announce the formation of the NewEnergy Alliance, an organization
founded by Constellation NewEnergy that includes leading equipment
manufacturers, building automation companies, system integrators, and software
application businesses. The purpose of the new alliance is to work with
Constellation to drive innovation and create Energy Responsive BuildingsSM.
Together this experienced membership is forging a new electricity Load Response
(LR) model that will surpass the current utility demand response offerings.
Ultimately, this new approach will provide greater building efficiency and allow
facility owners total control of energy costs while maintaining comfort and
operating standards. On a broader scale, it will effectively drive socially
responsible behavior and embrace environmental sustainability as well.

The Rationale Energy is a strategic asset that is important to every aspect of a business.
In today’s business environment, CEOs are under pressure from shareholders and
board members to green-up and cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reduce energy
consumption, shrink their carbon footprint, and lead socially responsible
business practices. CFOs are looking for increasingly more creative ways to trim
costs and gain a return on investments. Facilities Managers are tasked with the
challenge of keeping a wide range of systems operating efficiently and
effectively under a myriad of conditions, including a volatile energy market and
a steady increase in energy costs.

NewEnergy Alliance members are actively pursuing a
new, sophisticated overall approach for achieving the goals of today’s fiscally
and environmentally minded corporations.

The OpportunityBuildings and the energy consuming devices within them are controlled by a
wide array of systems. Much of their design and implementation has been to
control comfort, not energy. The NewEnergy Alliance will advance the concept of
interoperability and development of enterprise level software platforms and
applications to allow these building systems to uniformly respond to energy
pricing signals and real time supply options to significantly lower energy cost
and usage.

Integrating Load Response into these existing
building systems brings the energy supply side of the picture into perspective,
further leveraging the ability to control the internal environment not only for
comfort, but also for energy consumption. The result is a smarter and more Energy Responsive Building that is positioned to react flexibly to
curtailment demands from utility grids and changes in energy market prices as
well.

Members of the NewEnergy Alliance are well-positioned to assist their customers
to leverage both the energy demand and supply side of the equation.

Electricity load management and energy efficiency
strategies are most effective when all elements of the energy chain are linked
together for the customer. Manufacturers, Systems Integrators and Control
Contractors who can bring supply and demand side expertise to the table have a
competitive edge when assisting end users with managing energy in their
facility. For example, this expertise is brought to bear by: 1) Shaping the
electricity load via control system applications and enterprise level energy
strategies; 2) Reducing electricity load via advanced demand-limiting and
peak-shaving technologies; and 3) Smoothing bandwidth via optimizing control
sequences of operation.

The NewEnergy Alliance brings together the
technologies, manufacturers, engineers, and service providers across the energy,
IT, and building systems industries. Our members are involved in developing and
implementing complementary and best of breed solutions and technologies to
deliver sustainable energy goals for every type of building and customer –
today. The Alliance will help empower and create immediate revenue opportunities
for all who wish to directly participate in demand response with their products,
services and technologies.

Leighton Wolffe is active advancing initiatives and
deployment of new technologies in the Energy, IT, and Building Integration
industries with expertise in facilities and energy management systems, commodity
